The Ultimate Guide to Keto Baking: Master All the Best Tricks for Low-Carb Baking Success

This is the newest and most anticipated cookbook by Carolyn Ketchum. I saw her at a book signing and she is as gracious as you can imagine and has such a passion for keto baking that really came through. This book was definitely a passion project and it shows. I could sit and listen to her all day because of her enthusiasm and knowledge on the subject of keto baking. The one thing that is really interesting is that she follows a keto diet to manage her type 2 diabetes, not for weight loss. If you follow a keto diet or just want to make delicious recipes while cutting sugar out of your diet this is the cookbook for you. I have all her cookbooks and they are all the real deal. She manages to cut out sugar and carbs and make things taste awesome! In the beginning of the book she does a great job of explaining the science behind keto baking and has done extensive research on nut/low carb flours and all the sweeteners and how they work together to make things turn out delicious without losing the texture and flavor. Then come the recipes! She has a full page beautiful picture of each and every recipe. There are plenty of savory recipes in there so they aren't all desserts. There are so many recipes I can't wait to try I honestly don't know where to start. I'm definitely making the cowboy cookies because I'm missing the texture of oatmeal cookies(there is not oatmeal in the recipe), I also can't wait to try the dairy-free lemon cake. She has plenty of dairy free recipes also and gives plenty of substitutions if you are trying to cut back on dairy. The recipes are all easy to follow and contain ingredients that are not hard to find. If you follow a keto or low carb diet and want to eat amazing desserts this book is a must!

If you keto is a long term lifestyle for you and you miss your favorite baked goods, then you NEED this book! It really is the ultimate guide to keto baking. I read through the entire book, cover to cover, and Carolyn Ketchum is truly knowledgeable of the science behind low carb baking and how it differs from conventional baking. I also love how each recipe discusses possible substitutes and modifications for certain ingredients. The directions are expertly written and leave no confusion to the reader. The guide alone to keto baking, at the beginning of the book, is indispensable. The variety of recipes given is amazingly vast, you will surely find many within that you are interested in trying. As a novice baker, I found the recipes very easy to follow -- I definitely felt like my hand was being held, but had the confidence to make substitutions where indicated. The first recipe we tried was the Yellow Birthday Cake, for my birthday no less, along with the Swiss Meringue Buttercream.. and OMG! It all turned out perfect. We topped it with sugar free sprinkles, too. Don't even get me started on the brownie recipes in the book, the chocolate brownies are seriously better than the brownies I had eaten prior to beginning my keto journey. I can't wait to try more recipes, like the White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Blondies, Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake, and the Cowboy Cookies. I think it really says something that the recipes in this book have turned out so well for me that I have complete trust that any other recipes I try in this book will turn out great. I've followed several well-known keto recipe authors, and in my opinion, Carolyn has the most trust-worthy recipes. Making keto baked goods that taste this good, truly feels empowering.

If you want to lose weight, but you have wicked love for sweet and tasty desserts and breads, this is the one book I would recommend--chocked full of yummy recipes sure to satisfy! Of course, even these delectable treats can't be enjoyed non-stop, but i have a small treat everyday, and I have lost almost 50 lbs on Keto. What I love about this book is two-fold. It has wonderful directions, including the perfect utensils and pans to use, how to get the perfect measurements, and what ingredients will deliver the best results for any dish. And, as mentioned earlier - full od fabulous recipes. After trying several from internet posts, I decided I had to have this book in my collection. You can serve most of these yummy desserts to friends and family...if you're willing to share. I'll think about it!

I was diagnosed with diabetes & Chronic Kidney Disease 1 year ago. Both are now very well controlled. The one thing I missed a lot was baking. Traditional cookbooks & recipes all the way from my Grandma up to today contain too many ingredients that are considered no longer good for your body. The main issue for me is sugar, carbs, and sodium. After reading so many great reviews, I purchased Carolyn Ketchum's "The Ultimate Guide to Keto Baking" book. This book is a gamechanger. It's everything covered under all the positive reviews so be sure to read those too; I won't duplicate here. The pictures, ingredients, explanations, instructions, and tips are very much appreciated. The variety is awesome. SO many cookbooks do NOT provide the breakdown on the nutrition facts: this book does for every recipe. Yes...you must buy 'good' substitutes for most recipes but look at what the 'bad' ingredients have done to us over the years. Finally feel like there are some really great recipes/approaches out there now & this book is extremely well done. Is it worth it? Weighing in at almost 3 pounds - yes! Can't wait to begin baking again.

After almost a year of constant use, I rate this grinder the highest and most useful gadget. It is used most for grinding 5 different seeds for healthful breads and performs at top efficiency. The motor is steady and able to grind quickly and thoroughly. What a time saver! It is quick and easy to clean after use. This was money well spent and the price was well worth the 3 containers and two grinder tops included. A nice gift idea for someone who makes smoothies or low carb seed bread.

Carolyn has the best recipes! I just baked the Peanut Butter “oatmeal” bars made with no oatmeal! I always touch the cookbook pages and these pages smear if you have oily fingers. This did not happen in her other cookbooks. Just giving you a heads up. This does not want me to return the cookbook. It’s just if the publisher did something different for them to know. Enjoy her amazing recipes. Drooling as these bars are still cooling. Happy baking from Arizona to you!!

I’ve lived a Keto lifestyle for a couple of years now, much of that thanks to the ingenious recipes created by Carolyn Ketchum that have made living Keto among non-Keto family very doable and sustainable. This baking cookbook is an outstanding addition to my collection of amazing Keto cookbooks. There are recipes for foods that I’d never dreamed could be made Keto-friendly. Tres Leches cake, Tiramisu, Crème brûlée, plus various cheesecakes, cookies, muffins, and a wonderful assortment of baked goodies. Plus plenty of savory options like Pizzas, calzone, breads, quiche, crackers, etc. As someone who owns all of Carolyn’s Keto cookbooks, I’ve discovered her recipes are very well done, easy to understand, and simple to follow. And I never worry about serving her recipes to my non-Keto friends and family because there is nothing “diet” about these recipes. They’ve truly brought the joy of baking and the joy of eating back into my life. Note: if you’re not looking for a cookbook specifically for BAKING, then try a different cookbook of hers. I saw someone complain about the recipes all being baking recipes.....um.... helloooo?? KETO BAKING is the title. If you’re looking for some amazing recipes for baking Keto-friendly foods, this is it!!

I have been doing keto on and off for over a year. I go off because you want to make things for your non-keto family and although I'm used to the taste of some keto baked goods, in general, they are not comparable to non-keto goods. But this cookbook is vastly different. I look forward to making baked good and sharing them with my family instead of telling them - that's mine and you probably won't like it. When I first started keto, I got the normal supplies for baking - almond flour, erythritol, coconut flour, xanthan gum. etc. But I didn't know how to use them to make things tasty. Carolyn, the author, has done all the experimenting and gone beyond just replicating non-keto baked goods, to making them tasty and satisfying. I made the warm gingerbread cake with caramel sauce - AMAZING! I have made the vanilla ice cream several times - really a game changer, I don't have to go out and buy the keto ice cream stocked at my grocery store anymore which doesn't even compare to this homemade one. I look forward to making a birthday cake for myself and my family, which one to choose? If you have given up on making keto goods, try this cookbook. Go out and buy a variety of sweeteners - erythritol is standard, but having the other sweeteners will transform your baking. There are also savory things to bake in here - breads. etc. that I haven't even tried just because I just don't make bread part of my everyday keto life. I plan to start trying to make those primarily for my family but also because sometimes you just want a roll or cracker with your soup. I look forward to making many more recipes from this book.

Me encanta lo claro que explica las recetas

I like the layout looks very professional I bought it because it has all kind of baking but my only disappointment it doesn't have bread!!!!!!!

I stumbled across this lady’s channel on YouTube. Best thing that ever happened! I was desperate for some treats and this book has provided some fantastic recipes i can’t wait to try. It’s very informative. The recipes are reasonably simple and they are the kinds of good ol’ treats we all love. Cakes, cookies and biscuits, scones, some truely scrumptious cakes, to mention only a few. I just need too round up some keto versions of the ingredients, then I’ll probably guts myself with a whole pan of Scottish shortbread!

I am not an expert or great cook but all the more reason for praising this book. If I can make delicious desserts from this book, anyone can! My pics show I am not super artistic but trust me, the desserts taste lovely and friends can testify. Carolyn’s recipes are easy to follow and there’s plenty of additional information throughout the book. It’s an absolute gem. So far, I’ve made muffins, chocolate cake and a fabulous cheesecake none of which you’d even guess were Keto. Eat without guilt. Some of the ingredients are unconventional, but you don’t need to worry about it not working out. The flavours balance well. Carolyn has obviously tested the recipes thoroughly. I’m looking forward to trying the savouries next.

Absolutely love it. The photos are all beautifully taken so the goal is clear. With ingredients clearly printed out there is no need to search an online blog and read thru tons of info just to get to a recipe. Very useful tool. Also great for when you run out of ideas . Have ordered another keto cookbook by the same author together with this but this one arrives first, within 3 days. Very happy with purchase.
